January 28, 201312 yr Author comment_5531483 Slaughter is phenomenal here, and the focus seems to be switching more to Hogan vs Slaughter and away from exploiting the war. For now, anyway.
February 25, 201312 yr comment_5536882 Now that he's on top of the WWF, Sarge is actually showing off a bit of a smarmy cockiness about him. This is the birth of the "Slaughter Rules" run which I recall being far, far better than the conquering Iraqi hero shit. I wonder if this shift was developed out of good taste or out of the fact that the coalition offensive in the Persian Gulf was coming to an end.
March 15, 201312 yr comment_5539017 Slaughter talks about his way of things and his rules. Sounds like he’s planning on breaking them. Slaughter says he will be champion for life. Yeah, better from Slaughter as more of the focus is on him and less the Iraq war.
May 14, 201312 yr comment_5544653 I have actually really enjoyed the build so far to the Hogan vs. Slaughter match. Slaughter continues to put over his new rules which up to this point has led him to great success.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5548191 Slaughter was kick-ass during his Title run from Rumble to Mania...this may be his best promo... Outside that, how many others in the US at that time can say they have a photo with Saddam smiling arm and arm with them and be allowed to travel around spreading the hate? Not many...Slaughter = WIN!! J/K
April 15, 201510 yr comment_5664943 Take away Adnan (who was useless anyway), add a little bit of extra old-man craziness, and you have classic heel Slaughter here, who was absolutely phenomenal both on the mic and in the ring. I'm glad Vince finally remembered most of what made Sarge the great heel he was in the early and mid-eighties, even if it was a little too late to completely redeem the whole Iraqi sympathizer routine, which would hang over him more or less for the rest of his career, even after he "came back" to America. I don't think Piper was in the studio for this day of dubbing; you'll notice that even though Vince references him, he has nothing to say at all, which never happened during one of Sarge's promos.
